Congrats to you both on the proposal. I wish you many years of a strong partnership. This wish is from a guy who is about 4 months away from hitting the 40 year mark. Good luck and nice to see you post. 👍🏻😎(As a P.S. this video is what you call detailing😂😂😂)
I almost never make it through more than 5 minutes on a youtube video and I just watched this all the way through. Your detail, edits, videography and work is outstanding. Coming from a landscape service business owner im impressed!
Congratulations man. Looks like a great engagement trip and man you have got the Jeep set up!! Nice!! Thx!! I got a little nervous watching you drill the holes in the paint
This is by far .. the BEST detailing video i have EVER seen The setup, lighting, presentation, music, editing and car choice .. all perfect Amazing.. just amazing
6:41 yes correct, while doing pre-wash - always rinse from down to the top - because you do not wash up the prewash product. I'm talking about pre-wash not pre-rinse. Pre wash use some APC, etc etc etc etc
Yeah I like to rinse top down on heavy dirt knockdowns and on hand washes, the only time I do bottom up is during a touchless wash since the power washer is what’s cleaning the surface in that process, and I miss a spot if I don’t have the foam to gauge where I’ve been, missed spots don’t usually show up until dry
OMG congratulations !!!🎉🎉🎉 Oh and use compressed air to blow out your buffing pads! Like your clay, you don't want to scrub what's deposited on the pads on your paint!
Sweet job I learn something new with every video. Thank you. Really admire the shortcuts, equipment and ideas of doing things a better more efficient way. Cheers Pal
Mojave owner here as well. Dump those floor mats and pick up the Armorlite system for the flooring. So easy to keep clean and comes with drain plugs. You will thank me once you install them.
Nice work! I would have suggested to coat the holes before installing the riv-nuts. Seeing how wranglers/gladiators are made of tin foil, rust can easily be an issue sooner. But she looks good 👌🏻
You should have used a paint pen inside the drilled holes to protect and prevent rust. The hole is bare metal and will start rusting if its not protected. You can easily go back and still do that. Congratulations on your engagement! Thanks for the video!
I use engine enamel in a spray can, spray it into a cap and use a q tip. Dab the q tip on the holes. I'd use a wax based undercoating on the other side as heavy as possible since you got it in there
I’ve ran touch less washes for 16 years and we have a 2 step wetted surfactant presoak (low and high ph) that cuts and removes road film without hand washing. The glass is the toughest part and needs friction washing.
This is one of your best videos. I just detailed a JK, not as dirty as your Gladiator, mostly because the owner just got new PRP seats. Again great job on this!
Congratulations on the proposal, I learned so much watching this video just now on how to properly clean my Jeep. Man great job. Now I just need all those proper tools you have 😆
From a Jaguar Land Rover fan that is a beauty of a truck as you say stateside i believe. What you do is heaven in my eyes a bit of off roading and then detailing it back to near perfection in a shop to die for with all the tools and chemicals on tap. I am a Wax fan with an extensive collection from Mitchell & King based near Glasgow Scotland about 5 mins from my home so close enough to pop over when stocks run low. Came across your channel by chance so I liked and subscribed.
This is my first video I’ve seen on your channel and congratulations on the proposal. That was awesome to see in the beginning of the video. Your rig looks great and for some reason watching people detail their vehicles is very satisfying. I wish I had a garage and a truck to work on. I’m subscribed to your channel so I could continue watching these cool videos and showing support. I was considering getting an SUV after my lease is up next month but now I might actually consider getting a jeep gladiator. I need to do more research. Excellent video.
For cleaning the pads out during buffing you should use your air compressor and blow it out of the pad. Just make sure you are away from the vehicle and have very good ventilation. Turn the buffer on and let the pad spin while you blast it with air between panels. (i.e. every time you lift the pad to go to the next area.)
As I watched you literally drill holes all over the jeep, I thought to myself well he could've used PPF on the sides and called it a day. Still an awesome video 👏
Congrats to you and the soon to b wife, awesome stuff! Ya'll keep killing these videos, enjoy the 4th. Kona looks like quite the toy driven pup, shes a hoot! That jeep is a beauty, wow!
Congrats on the proposal! Love your videos man. Some JL and JT owners use a weather strip or rubber piping between the fenders and body to keep the rocks from getting stuck in there. Keep up the great work!
Another thing I've noticed with clay baring, is to make sure there is enough lubricant on the paint, otherwise you may scratch it more. But buffing will likely remove any scratches that you/I put on the vehicle during the clay process.
Congratulations! As far as claying goes, here’s my knowledge and opinion on what works for me on the cars I work on. It’s fairly long but good information to know. 1) The clay bar is a more aggressive step that will leave light scratching on the surface, needing to be polished after, whereas the mitt, if used with proper lubrication, will not need polished after. This is because the clay bar contains light abrasives to help remove contamination, and the synthetic mitt does not. 2) I personally use a perforated synthetic clay surface like your mitt. The most important thing with that is to use no pressure. It actually works better with less pressure, as counterintuitive as that may seem. I’d suggest with the mitt to place your hand on top of it, instead of inside, as you will create less pressure points with thicker padding between your hand and the surface. 3) As far as lubrication with the synthetic clay, I like to use an iron remover. The best way to do this in my opinion is to first wash the car, and while the soap is still on the car, do a spray of iron remover on the clay mitt and a spray on the panel, making sure to rinse the mitt in a soapy bucket between panels. A lot of people believe that an iron remover removes the iron particles; in reality, they remove the rust staining caused by the iron particle, not the particle itself. Keep in mind that not all iron removers work as a clay lube with all clay media, as some iron removers are diluted with a solvent that will damage the clay surface. Usually the high quality iron removers work well, but the only way to be sure is to test for yourself or find a combination that other people have had good results with.
first off congrats to you and your lady, secondly I love the overland style on the new jeep trucks, maybe someday you could give us a tour of your rig and all your overland gear.
WoW that was a great surprise! got me of my chair and had to hit the replay a few times lol! Congrats and more power to u and the future fam! Thanks for the July 4th discounts!
I’ve been torn on the OD Green black rhino wheels for my Sting Grey Wrangler for a while but this just convinced me that I need them. If the gunmetal look that good I can only imagine. 😂 Thanks for the content…your rig looks great!
As you said you didn't know what you were doing! The one thing I always appreciate in regards to your videos is your honesty.... It's super important to real so people get what you are trying to convey in your videos / vlogs. I also noticed that you were just as honest in your customer reviews and one of the things I noticed with some of your lower ratings is that you state very clearly with your touchless product(s) is that you will need to put hands on! I have yet to come across ANY product that is truly touchless. I have owned many, many vehicles from older Camaros to my last big purchase for a new 389 Peterbilt and just recently a new Mustang GT. I am contemplating purchasing your products in order to reduce the amount of labor I need to wash my many cars (I have sold my trucking company). If anyone owns a Mustang they can probably relate to the paint issues that unfortunately Ford has been struggling with for their cars. They have amazing colors but adhesion has always been an issue and they don't hold up very well. So the least amount of actual manual scrubbing you perform on the paint is better for your paint job as it will impart less scratches which in the end is truly what you want when purchasing a "touchless product". It's all about removing the big bits so that you don't move them around on your paint while washing it. Your paint will always require some maintenance and waxing it's just what you need to do, it's inevitable! I will be looking into purchasing your double foam cannon and mezzo stars and stripes in the near future when my finances are just a little bit better. I hope you are doing well and good luck with your business. I have been watching your product videos on and off for a while now and would really like to sample them as soon as I can. Be well!
1st, welcome back Big Bob. You had me worried. I thought maybe you were really sick... so what a relief. Charlie gave me a little hint that you were ok. 2nd, CONGRATULATIONS on the engagement man! That's very cool! 3rd, Autofiber Mitt On A Stick; AMAZING. One of the BEST tools on the market if not THE BEST! Great video as Always man! Hey, this was Like a dream vacation for so many people. Just taking in all the Beautiful sights in America and enjoying the view. I'm thinking Kona is already missing it!😉 .... Wish we had met when you were in Cali... opportunity missed, and I realize this was family time and vacation... maybe another time, Big Bob❌️. Good to see you back! Tell the future Mrs. ❌️...... (Oh, that doesn't sound good does it?) Welcome to the family and I hope you two have a lifetime of fun and grow old tegther man! Take care Bob!
Maybe my new favorite video of yours tbh. One tid bit of info on the claying, a clay bar definitely is better for picking up those bigger pieces, however you *should* have used an iron decon spray after your contact wash and rinse, and then clay barred / mitt and then the polish stage. The iron remover spray (I use adams iron, and carpro IronX, Sonax Iron Fallout remove) would remove those big chunks and dissolve them ahead of your clay bar stage. Either way, loved this video!
I used to rinse too down all the time until I understood the reason for bottom up. Now I rinse from the bottom up after the first chemical cleaning (the pre) and I rinse from the top down after the hand wash. Seems to work well. Also, congratulations.
Thank you! Yeah the bottom up just helps me not miss a spot in the touchless washes so it looks better dry, I do the same as you the rest of the time as well and top down after hand washes
@@ChemX I also use a 25 degree tip when doing my pre wash and any early rinsing and on the wheels. For the final rinse I switch to the 40 degree. I just figure I get a little more focused power to remove the dirt early on with the 25 and the 40 helps to get the final rinse done quicker. Might be bullshit but makes sense in my head.
30:40 Tip from someone who had piano black paint that halo'd if someone on pluto sneezes.... that's how they come but I've found using it like that just wastes clay. Tear a piece off enough to make like a ping pong sized ball in your hand - smash it into a pancake and make sure it's big enough that you can hold it positively - It doesn't need to be that big thick brick. If you need to make it bigger, add more clay. This is important because you don't want to drop it, or it's as good as trash (so keeping the rest of it pristine is a good CYA) because it will score up your paint and cause haloing and other nasty artifacts in the finish (your Jeep's color tends to be very forgiving though and... it's a Jeep. 😁). Make sure to store it in its packaging or a small tupperware to keep it dust free and safe. Use it exactly like you are, back and forth and keep it constantly lubricated. Occasionally check it for contaminant build up and kneed it together (like you said) again to expose fresh clay as needed. Usually one of those bars is enough to do 50-80 clays (maybe more depending on contamination). Using the whole bar is generally just a waste, when you can keep a super fresh one to keep from contaminating less contaminated or other vehicles. I love your videos and products. Keep up the good work!
Where can I find a list of the upgrades, such as the center console organizer, the roll up bag for your tool's, we have a Mohave and we are getting it outfitted for camping and overlanding, new to this, just need some guidance and advice, BTW, love the videos! 😊
AMMO NYC if you want to geek out on paint and detailing and clay bars and buffing etc etc etc , or The Detail Geek . just came across your channel and your stuff is amazing dude . life saver probably a better water solution btw
Don't forget to prime (add compound to the pad then rub it into the pad with your fingers) the polishing pad before you begin to use (then you wont have to spread the compound around as much). And a free cleaner for the pads....your air compressor. Just spin the polisher and blow the pad out.
Suggestions; use a iron remover b4 claying to break down the particles as far as possible and rinse them off before claying. Do this to prevent (best as possible) pick up some of the iron and dragging it along the surface also clay with as much lube and little pressure as possible moving down the panel not across. If you have some heavier polishing that needs to happen look into a forced rotation DA polisher such as flex (harbor freight also just came out with one) so you have the power of rotary with having to worry about holograms and swirls
Love the edit, never tought i'd sit and watch a hr long video of car detailing, but this got me hooked... quick question: what bed rack are you using on your jeep?
Yeah human beings deserve to have detail brushes! Lol! Congrats on the engagement wish you to the best of luck and happiness. Hey we're you running across I-80 near Walcott Ia?
Hahaha yeah totally I don’t know what took me so long, both on the brushes and popping the question lol. We didn’t hit up Iowa on this trip we swung just north of it on the way back actually through Minnesota
To clean out your polishing pads, just use a compressed air blow gun Run the unit on the lowest speed, and blow all the used polish and junk out Do it in a trash can or a box, it can get messy
Man.. You have got the Jeep dialed in both in paint & gear! Should definitely do a full walk around of the setup. Grow the channel with Jeep content. Great editing on the video also!
@@ChemX Not sure if you've done a walk-around on the Jeep, but just caught your video and couldn't decide what I was more interested in - the detailing!! or the gear on your Mojave!!! If you haven't released a walk-through on your gear, would be really interested in a list of your gear. At the very least, what is the rack system? Lastly, I know it was a year ago - but congratulations on the engagement and wedding? if that's happened? :) Take care!
jeeps clean....sad about the engagement though, big depression\ sidenote....if you activate the buffer with the pad on and hit it with compressed air it cleans fairly well.
Have you seen Jason Otterness from Chicago Auto Pro’s use dry ice machine to clean engine bays and to remove undercarriage oxidation and clean interiors 👍
When polishing try and tape up your rubber trim around windows, and fenders the polish with ruin them and turn them white and it’ll be really hard to get it back to normal and congrats!!
I think first clean in under water wash... Four wheel remove next cleaning... Engine cleaning... Interior cleaning... Last one body wash... Clean in water drops in high pressure air... Last rubbing and coating...
What would one do if there was still some left over debris or such after using the stars and stripes? Would you just try and get it out with a mitt wash or something like that?
Looks like a fun detail and congrats on the engagement. I think in the future if you are in the same situation you could do Griots Fast Correcting Creme on a Rupes blue pad for the correction and the polish depends on the hardness of the paint. I usually find the Rupes Yellow Foam pad and Perfect finish work well. Harder Clearcoat Rupes Yellow Wool and Softer Clearcoat Rupes White Foam. Only time I use Yellow pad and Perfect finish first is on new cars. AMMONYC has a great detailing academy on YT. I think you did an awesome job but who cares what I have to say lol.
@@ChemX I love Lather interior cleaner but it is expensive per oz. Good thing I don't mind supporting Larry. The overlanding looks fun. I want to get into it with my Raptor but not a whole lot to do in Eastern NC.
Not many people understand the amount of work that goes into a detail like this. Great job!
A lot of unnecessary steps but yeah it takes a long time to complete a full detail like this
A lot of incorrect methods. But I still appreciate his thoroughness.
The editing for the video is crazy! I wish I could give it more than one like.
Man that’s great thank you lol
I liked it for you bro, I got u
@@nickgronendyke3902 thanks a lot man. That was bugging me lol

Lol thank you😁👏
I almost never make it through more than 5 minutes on a youtube video and I just watched this all the way through. Your detail, edits, videography and work is outstanding. Coming from a landscape service business owner im impressed!
you're the shit man, you deserve way more attention. keep it up.
Thanks I appreciate that!
Heavy duty, used it today. Great stuff and dillutes. Great product
Awesome to hear it thank you!
What did I just watch. Love it ! Just bought my first 2023 wrangler
Sahara- in love !
Congratulations man. Looks like a great engagement trip and man you have got the Jeep set up!! Nice!! Thx!! I got a little nervous watching you drill the holes in the paint
This is by far .. the BEST detailing video i have EVER seen
The setup, lighting, presentation, music, editing and car choice .. all perfect
Amazing.. just amazing
Do you have a walk around video of your Jeep build? What kind of rack is that? I’ve been searching for the right one for me and yours looks perfect.
Congratulations chem on the proposal 😊❤
Thank you!
Wow the detail here was tremendous. Amazing JOB.
6:41 yes correct, while doing pre-wash - always rinse from down to the top - because you do not wash up the prewash product. I'm talking about pre-wash not pre-rinse. Pre wash use some APC, etc etc etc etc

Thank you! That’s a great tip I’ll use that!
I would really enjoy a video of the steel rack and how you have things organized / mounted... awesome video -- kona really enjoyed the trip..
I once again realized how significant the happiness that freedom brings is through this video.
Sweet job
I learn something new with every video. Thank you. Really admire the shortcuts, equipment and ideas of doing things a better more efficient way. Cheers Pal
Mojave owner here as well. Dump those floor mats and pick up the Armorlite system for the flooring. So easy to keep clean and comes with drain plugs. You will thank me once you install them.
I’ll look into that thank you!
Nice work! I would have suggested to coat the holes before installing the riv-nuts. Seeing how wranglers/gladiators are made of tin foil, rust can easily be an issue sooner. But she looks good 👌🏻
100%
Congratulations on the proposal. That was an awesome video !
Thanks!
Your attention to detail is therapy for me.
You should have used a paint pen inside the drilled holes to protect and prevent rust. The hole is bare metal and will start rusting if its not protected. You can easily go back and still do that. Congratulations on your engagement! Thanks for the video!
Dammit now I can’t stop thinking about that lol, that’s a good heads up tho thank you!
I use engine enamel in a spray can, spray it into a cap and use a q tip. Dab the q tip on the holes.
I'd use a wax based undercoating on the other side as heavy as possible since you got it in there
congrats brother on taking that big step!
Thank you!
I’ve ran touch less washes for 16 years and we have a 2 step wetted surfactant presoak (low and high ph) that cuts and removes road film without hand washing. The glass is the toughest part and needs friction washing.
This is one of your best videos. I just detailed a JK, not as dirty as your Gladiator, mostly because the owner just got new PRP seats.
Again great job on this!
Thank you I appreciate that!

OK bro, I legit laughed out loud.
Well played. 🤣👊🏻👌🏻
Lol yeah that was exactly how I felt everytime I opened that door during the trip, we’ll be bringing less stuff next time😂
Congrats to you and the soon to b wife, awesome stuff! Ya'll keep killing these videos, enjoy the 4th. Kona looks like quite the toy driven pup, shes a hoot! That jeep is a beauty, wow!
Thank you so much you too!
Like the vid, detailed for a long time myself. When the pad got filled with compound an contaminates we would use compressed air to blow out the pads
Congrats on the proposal! Love your videos man. Some JL and JT owners use a weather strip or rubber piping between the fenders and body to keep the rocks from getting stuck in there. Keep up the great work!

No, water will rust iron.@@ChemX

Thank you I appreciate it!
Congratulations man on your proposal happy for you both and that machine for the under carriage is a beast
Congratulations! As far as claying goes, here’s my knowledge and opinion on what works for me on the cars I work on. It’s fairly long but good information to know.

Also if you’re looking for a good pad cleaner, I’d look into the Lake Country System 4000 pad washer. It’s the best in my opinion
Awesome input I’ll put this to work thank you!

Thank you yeah they’re great wheels I love em def recommended, my jeep looks absolutely awful on the stock rims lol
@@ChemX I don’t think the Wrangler looks horrible with the Rubi wheels but I’m not sure what the Mojave wheels looked like on the Gladiator.
To clean your pad, spray it with the hose, then spin it out on the polisher to dry it.
As you said you didn't know what you were doing! The one thing I always appreciate in regards to your videos is your honesty....
It's super important to real so people get what you are trying to convey in your videos / vlogs.
I also noticed that you were just as honest in your customer reviews and one of the things I noticed with some of your lower ratings is that you state very clearly with your touchless product(s) is that you will need to put hands on!
I have yet to come across ANY product that is truly touchless.
I have owned many, many vehicles from older Camaros to my last big purchase for a new 389 Peterbilt and just recently a new Mustang GT.

@ChemX anytime brother!
Barrel Blade is in fact for wheels😅 For the barrels with tight clearance between the caliper and the barrel. Plus its softer than the racoon tail😊
Yeah I didn’t end up trying it out on this wash but I’m going to soon I like the thing a lot
Congrats on the proposal! That trip looked amazing and what a jeep to do it in!
Thank you!
Hes back been waiting for another video :) been ages man
Yeah my goal is to start getting back on track with more regular uploads, edits like this one take quite awhile to make tho
Congratulations on the proposal 👍🏼😎
FYI bungee cords isn’t a securement device I would use a small ratchet
Very good point lol I’ll get that more secure
Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

My intuition on why the tailgate was cleaner is the dirt that suck there was dryer and didn’t sit wet on the paint as long as the the front and sides
Could be yeah
I’m sorry, this was a detailing video? I’m over here sweating my eyes out from the proposal and you guys enjoying nature. 😂😂😂 congratulations!!!

Tear a piece off enough to make like a ping pong sized ball in your hand - smash it into a pancake and make sure it's big enough that you can hold it positively - It doesn't need to be that big thick brick. If you need to make it bigger, add more clay. This is important because you don't want to drop it, or it's as good as trash (so keeping the rest of it pristine is a good CYA) because it will score up your paint and cause haloing and other nasty artifacts in the finish (your Jeep's color tends to be very forgiving though and... it's a Jeep. 😁). Make sure to store it in its packaging or a small tupperware to keep it dust free and safe. Use it exactly like you are, back and forth and keep it constantly lubricated. Occasionally check it for contaminant build up and kneed it together (like you said) again to expose fresh clay as needed.
Usually one of those bars is enough to do 50-80 clays (maybe more depending on contamination). Using the whole bar is generally just a waste, when you can keep a super fresh one to keep from contaminating less contaminated or other vehicles. I love your videos and products. Keep up the good work!
Where can I find a list of the upgrades, such as the center console organizer, the roll up bag for your tool's, we have a Mohave and we are getting it outfitted for camping and overlanding, new to this, just need some guidance and advice, BTW, love the videos! 😊
Congratulations man many blessings on the years to come. So glad to see you posting again love your videos brother
Thank you much appreciated bud!
AMMO NYC if you want to geek out on paint and detailing and clay bars and buffing etc etc etc , or The Detail Geek . just came across your channel and your stuff is amazing dude . life saver probably a better water solution btw
Great trip. Enjoying your vehicle and at the same time living your life in full. Awesome. 🎯
Congratulations to you both from Aberdeen in NorthEast Scotland ❤ 🎉
Wow this is Awesome .A Classic of all times:) Congratulations 😇🌎
Awesome video man happy for you my guy!
So holes in the rocker were drilled to protect from minor dents that some painless dent removal can take care of? Those holes are going to rust out
Don't forget to prime (add compound to the pad then rub it into the pad with your fingers) the polishing pad before you begin to use (then you wont have to spread the compound around as much). And a free cleaner for the pads....your air compressor. Just spin the polisher and blow the pad out.
Perfect yeah I noticed Larry over at ammonyc do that wipe in thing since I’ll have to do that
I have no need for this jeep or anything on it😂😂…but I WANT IT!! You have definitely hooked that up 💪🏽💪🏽
Suggestions; use a iron remover b4 claying to break down the particles as far as possible and rinse them off before claying. Do this to prevent (best as possible) pick up some of the iron and dragging it along the surface also clay with as much lube and little pressure as possible moving down the panel not across. If you have some heavier polishing that needs to happen look into a forced rotation DA polisher such as flex (harbor freight also just came out with one) so you have the power of rotary with having to worry about holograms and swirls
Perfect yeah I’ll def get some iron remover going and put that info to work, any brand you prefer on iron remover?
Love the edit, never tought i'd sit and watch a hr long video of car detailing, but this got me hooked... quick question: what bed rack are you using on your jeep?
Man this vehicle is just an insane! Great video, enjoyed a lot!
Yeah human beings deserve to have detail brushes! Lol! Congrats on the engagement wish you to the best of luck and happiness. Hey we're you running across I-80 near Walcott Ia?
Hahaha yeah totally I don’t know what took me so long, both on the brushes and popping the question lol. We didn’t hit up Iowa on this trip we swung just north of it on the way back actually through Minnesota
To clean out your polishing pads, just use a compressed air blow gun
Run the unit on the lowest speed, and blow all the used polish and junk out
Do it in a trash can or a box, it can get messy
That’s perfect I’ll definitely do that thank you
wow, what an amazing job! how much would a full detail like this run for a full equipped overland rig like this?
this is one of your best videos
Thank you that’s good to hear, this one took a lot of time lol
your cleaning style is different from others
Good interior, exterior or under bleow the under car area ❤❤ Love From India ❤
Man.. You have got the Jeep dialed in both in paint & gear! Should definitely do a full walk around of the setup. Grow the channel with Jeep content. Great editing on the video also!
Much appreciated yeah that’s a cool idea I love the jeep community too, I’d say half the content I watch is related to off roading lol
@@ChemX Same! Been into Jeeps since 2006 & detailing since 2014. So i fully understand the love for both.
@@ChemX Not sure if you've done a walk-around on the Jeep, but just caught your video and couldn't decide what I was more interested in - the detailing!! or the gear on your Mojave!!! If you haven't released a walk-through on your gear, would be really interested in a list of your gear. At the very least, what is the rack system? Lastly, I know it was a year ago - but congratulations on the engagement and wedding? if that's happened? :) Take care!
The only thing I wish is that there was something sprayed on the seats to protect them that’s all. Great video
32:48 😳 this is the first time I’m seeing Milwaukee’s polisher
jeeps clean....sad about the engagement though, big depression\
sidenote....if you activate the buffer with the pad on and hit it with compressed air it cleans fairly well.
Have you seen Jason Otterness from Chicago Auto Pro’s use dry ice machine to clean engine bays and to remove undercarriage oxidation and clean interiors 👍
A buddy of mine has a dry ice machine I’d love to get it over to my place and play with it
Wow. You are a great filmmaker and video editor too. Congratulations. 🎉
Compressed air works great to clean out buffing pads.
Congratulations buddy!
I liked the before and after the Jeep looks better then brand new
When polishing try and tape up your rubber trim around windows, and fenders the polish with ruin them and turn them white and it’ll be really hard to get it back to normal and congrats!!
Thank you! You use masking tape for that I’m guessing?
What is the name of that side panel protection you installed along the lower door lines?? Looks very good!
I think first clean in under water wash... Four wheel remove next cleaning... Engine cleaning... Interior cleaning... Last one body wash... Clean in water drops in high pressure air... Last rubbing and coating...
What would one do if there was still some left over debris or such after using the stars and stripes? Would you just try and get it out with a mitt wash or something like that?
Great content, I wish I had found your channel sooner!!
Looks like a fun detail and congrats on the engagement. I think in the future if you are in the same situation you could do Griots Fast Correcting Creme on a Rupes blue pad for the correction and the polish depends on the hardness of the paint. I usually find the Rupes Yellow Foam pad and Perfect finish work well. Harder Clearcoat Rupes Yellow Wool and Softer Clearcoat Rupes White Foam. Only time I use Yellow pad and Perfect finish first is on new cars. AMMONYC has a great detailing academy on YT. I think you did an awesome job but who cares what I have to say lol.
I care hahahaha. Thank you I’ll try out all those tips, I watch Larry at ammo everyday I use some of his stuff actually he makes really nice cleaners
@@ChemX I love Lather interior cleaner but it is expensive per oz. Good thing I don't mind supporting Larry. The overlanding looks fun. I want to get into it with my Raptor but not a whole lot to do in Eastern NC.
